Text Chapter 172: The Emperor's Heart is Unfathomable (1)
Several people around looked at Liu Rudao for a while.
Liu Rudao carefully looked at the other exposed skin on the back of the princess's hand, and found that there were some small red spots, and he said, "These red spots should have been bitten by ordinary mosquitoes." Where is Princess Fangcai? Why didn't anyone find out in the first place? The princess herself should have a feeling. ”
Li Shuci thought for a while, pointed to the bright lantern pavilion in the lake and said: "Princess Fangcai is dancing in the orchid pavilion, the moisture near the water surface is heavy, and there are lights, mosquitoes will naturally go there, Her Royal Highness the princess must have endured the itch and pain to finish the whole dance in order to celebrate the birthday of the queen mother." ”
A hint of regret flashed in Jin Yao's eyes, "Why are the others okay?" Only Min'er has something to do! ”
This is exactly what Li Shuci wants to say, but this is in the palace, there are some things that Jin Yao can say, but she can't say. Jin Yao's eyes seemed to say, why would anyone hurt a weak princess who was no threat to others! The sixth prince is a loose person who doesn't like to stir up trouble, if he wasn't in a hurry, he wouldn't have done such a thing.
And Li Shuci did not hesitate to believe that the person who blocked the six princes was by their side.
"In this way, this Gu worm has been on the princess for a while, and the princess has a special fragrance. Very attractive to this Gu worm, I'm afraid that if I don't catch it, the princess's life will not be guaranteed. Liu Rudao lowered his head slightly and sniffed, and said to everyone. This kind of Gu is extremely dependent on the mother Gu, the mother Gu should not be far from here, as long as the mother Gu is found to manipulate it to recall this Gu, let this Gu take the initiative to leave the princess's body, the princess will be saved. Moreover, if the mother Gu is killed directly, this Gu will also die automatically, but the death Gu will leave venom in the princess's body, and the antidote can only be made with the mother Gu as an introduction, otherwise whether the princess can save her life depends on the will of heaven. ”
"So, the person who went down to Gu is around here?" Jin Yao couldn't believe it, the anger in his eyes seemed to be able to burn everything up! "Who is so bold that he dares to release Gu in the palace to mutilate the princess!"
Li Shuci squatted for a long time, her feet were a little numb, she helped Mu Yun to stand up, and looked at Princess Chi Yue who was crying on the side, Princess Chi Yue's face was full of anxiety, but that kind of anxiety was too fake in the eyes of people like Li Shuci. The unconsciously revealing pleasure in Chi Yue's eyes was still captured by her, Li Shuci looked at Chi Yue, and her intuition told her that there must be something wrong with this Chi Yue!
She suddenly felt a strong disgust from the bottom of her heart, an emotion that did not want to be succeeded by the wicked creeps crept into her heart. Or, seeing Duan Min being blinded by her relatives and innocently hurt, she seems to see herself in her previous life, which is a kind of sympathy. She stared at Chi Yue tightly and said, "Princess Chi Yue, let's hurry up and hand over the mother Gu!" ”
She spoke suddenly, everyone didn't react, they all looked at her blankly, Chi Yue raised his teary eyes in disbelief, and said in a lost voice: "I...... How could it be me? How can I raise Gu? ”
Li Shuci's gaze turned twice on Princess Chi Yue's face: "Shouldn't the princess ask me first, why do you know that you hurt Princess Duanmin?" ”
Chi Yue was shocked when he heard Li Shuci's expression of certainty, his cheeks turned pale, and he was very panicked: "You are talking nonsense, I didn't harm her......"
Everyone can see that Chi Yue is wrong, according to common sense, if a person is wronged, if it is an ordinary person, he may be afraid, but as a princess, Chi Yue's reaction is a bit too much!
"Bold! Who are you! How dare you slander the princess here? The henchman palace maid beside Chi Yue had a very ugly face and reprimanded loudly.
The ladies in the palace were originally listening to the play in the water pavilion on the other side, but at this time, some people reacted, knowing that things were not good, and rushed to report the matter to Concubine Hui. Concubine Hui has ruled the harem for many years, walking in front of everyone, and her expression is still calm. "Let's not talk about some messy things, how is Princess Duanmin? Doctor Liu? ”
Imperial Physician Liu trembled and knelt down and saluted: "Back to Concubine Hui's words, the old minister has never seen this thing, and the little brother said that this is a rare Gu worm, and he has already said a solution. Imperial Physician Liu pointed to Liu Rudao behind him, and simply pushed it cleanly.
Concubine Hui glanced at Liu Rudao, Liu Rudao stepped forward to knock on him, Helian Tao hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Niangniang, this is a friend of the minister, and he knows a lot about Gu worms. For now, let's save my life first. ”
Concubine Hui glanced at Liu Rudao deeply and nodded, "Since there is a way, let's implement it quickly." ”
Chi Yue saw that everyone's eyes fell on her again, and after a while, Chi Yue's sanity had recovered, and at this time, he was weak and leaning on the palace maid, and he seemed to be very sad. She looked at Li Shuci and said, "This is Young Master Li's beloved daughter, the county lord of Anning." Princess Ben and Princess Duanmin grew up together since childhood, and their deep relationship is well-known, but I really don't know why Anning County mainly said that Princess Ben harmed Duanmin? ”
Li Shuci didn't say a word, and quickly pinched Princess Chi Yue's wrist very boldly, Princess Chi Yue didn't react at all, she felt that the thing on her wrist slipped, and the thing had fallen into Li Shuci's hand. Chi Yue never thought that things would be like this, and she didn't even say anything for a while, and the palace maid beside her said angrily: "You dare to be disrespectful to the princess!" ”
Li Shuci didn't pay attention to a clown who jumped off the beam at all, and glanced at her coldly, and the palace maid was so frightened that she shrank her neck. Li Shuci raised the thing in his hand to everyone and looked at it, and it turned out to be a mottled okra rosin-scented jade bracelet. "When Princess Duanmin was dancing in the Lan Pavilion, I happened to see the princess wearing this bracelet on her arm, and somehow in a blink of an eye, this bracelet reached Princess Chi Yue's wrist? What does the princess want to hide? What is the mystery of this bracelet? ”
When the princess was inspected, there were a lot of mosquito bites on the edge of this bracelet, Li Shuci was puzzled, and as soon as the six princes came over, Chi Yue pounced in front of Princess Duanmin, blocking Li Shuci's sight, and when Liu Rudao said that Duanmin had a strange fragrance that could lead Gu, she realized that there was something wrong with this bracelet, and at a glance, this bracelet was actually gone!
Li Shuci handed the bracelet to Liu Rudao, and Liu Rudao sniffed it, "Although this fragrance is covered by the rosin fragrance of the bracelet, it is indeed mixed with the fragrance of the imperial Gu, if you wear it on your body, the fragrance will seep into your body." So as to achieve the purpose of attracting Gu. After all, Liu Rudao was a big man, and Fang Cai only took a cursory glance, and did not reach out to touch the princess's body, so he did not find anything unusual about this bracelet.
Princess Chi Yue stared at the bracelet, and suddenly knelt down in front of Concubine Hui, aggrieved: "Concubine Hui, Chi Yue just saw that the eighth sister's beloved thing fell to the ground, and in a hurry, he took it on his wrist, and wanted to keep it for the eighth sister first, so as not to lose it, who knows, Chi Yue was wrongly accused of being the murderer of the eighth sister, please make the decision for me!" ”
Concubine Hui's eyes turned around on Li Shuci's face, she didn't know what she was thinking, and said: "Right and wrong are determined, since the county lord of Anning has found out, it is better to make it clear first, the prince and princess are guilty of the same crime as the common people, this palace will not favor anyone, if Chi Yue is innocent, it is better to prove your innocence first, this palace will naturally not wronged you and let you be wronged in vain." ”
Chi Yue didn't think that Concubine Hui would really let Li Shuci interfere in this matter, so she couldn't help but lay her head on the ground and said softly: "Chi Yue is wronged. The voice seemed to have been wronged to the extreme, so that it was disheartened.
Li Shuci bowed to Concubine Hui Fu and asked the little uterine girl beside Princess Duanmin: "Except for Princess Duanmin, has anyone else touched this jade bracelet before?" ”
"This bracelet ......" the little uterine girl said fearfully, "This bracelet is something left to the princess by the princess's biological mother, and the princess has always worn the ......" She glanced at Chi Yue on the side and said: "Because this is the princess's beloved thing, the princess will not leave her leisure, but ......" She was a little scared, and even began to tremble, with tears in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and said: "Some time ago, Princess Chi Yue took the bracelet away for a few days......"
Before Chi Yue could speak, the palace maid beside her opened her mouth and reprimanded: "Our princess knows that she broke the bracelet of the eighth princess and feels guilty in her heart, so she took the bracelet away and wanted to repair it for the eighth princess." You spouting wild words, do you know what will happen? ”
Li Shuci smiled slightly, looked at Princess Chi Yue and said: "The palace maid next to the princess is really guts, a little palace maid, she is so majestic, I don't know, I think she is the princess!" ”
Chi Yue's face turned cold, he stared at Li Shuci deadly, and said to the palace maid beside him: "Concubine Hui is here, when will it be your turn to point fingers!" ”
Anyone can hear that although this was said to the palace maid, it was actually Li Shuci who was nosy. What kind of person is Li Shuci, she will not be less flesh when she is sarcastically ridiculed, she doesn't care at all, and first asks Liu Rudao: "Can the incense in this bracelet lead to the mother Gu?" ”
Liu Rudao looked at her eyes flickering slightly, and then understood what she meant, and said: "If the bracelet is burned, the incense medicine that was soaked in it before will be burned, and the mother Gu will be irritated by the strong fragrance, and the person with the mother Gu will be bitten through the flesh and skin, burrowed into the human body, causing death." ”
Li Shuci turned his gaze to Chi Yue, looked at her and said, "Who the murderer is, you will know as soon as it is burned." ”
Chi Yue's face was sad, and he said, "This is the only thing that Eighth Sister thinks about her biological mother, how can it be burned down like this?" ”
"Compared to a thought, I think Duanmin's life and Chi Yue's innocence are more important." The Confucian King came from a distance, and his cold and detached face made people unconsciously feel convinced. King Confucianism and Li Shuci glanced at each other, and said to Liu Rudao: "Do it!" ”
